At Bank of America, we are proud to fundraise for our charity partner, Mental Health UK.

Approximately 7.5 million people in the UK living with a mental illness, and an estimated one in four of us experiences a mental health problem every year. Mental Health UK, aim to increase everyone's knowledge and understanding of how to protect and maintain mental health.

What goes a long way for my own wellbeing is cycling, yoga or gardening (or yoga in the garden! :) but I am very excited to try something new - a marathon distance walking challenge through beautiful woodland and natural reserves on the "London Loop" footpath, as part of BofA's Ten Peaks Challenge for Mental Health UK.

Our fundraising will help Mental Health UK support people with mental illnesses into employment. The charity's research suggests that despite 80% of people living with mental illness wanting to work, just 20% are currently in employment.

I appreciate your support!
